Craig Winter

We are delighted to announce an absolute legend as our first ambassador. Craig was delighted to be asked and is keen to support the club moving forward in this new role.

Craig ‘Toorie’ Winter from joining in 1994, went on to become a real local hero at Central Park. He played for Cowden in some difficult times before enjoying the tremendous promotion success of 2001. It was fitting that Craig as Cowden captain rose to head home the last minute winner v Brechin City which clinched Cowden’s promotion.

Toorie won the Cowdenbeath Player of the Year award a couple of years before that. His hard working and hard tackling gave so much to the team. He had a never say die spirit and a fair degree of ability. Craig though it must be admitted was prone to find his way into the referee’s book.

After 10 years with Cowden, Craig was signed by Brechin City. After spells with Dumbarton and Forfar, he made a nostalgic return to Cowdenbeath in 2010 and won a further promotion and a title with the Blue Brazil plus another player of the year accolade. Craig Winter made 348 League appearances for Cowdenbeath FC and was a true Cowden man.
